Reception Reports: A "Summer-y" of June 28-30, 2009 including Rochester, Erie and WGBH E-Skip!

This was my adventure DXing TV stations from Rochester, NY / Erie, PA and an analog E-skip from Boston, MA's WGBH on June 28-30, 2009 from my home in Markham, Ontario, Canada. I was deprived of DXing when I was at the annual Gay Pride Parade for three days in Downtown Toronto, so it was awesome to come home to some nice tropo enhancement! This was my first time capturing WICU's morning news. I also captured some E-Skip from Boston, MA's WGBH (which was showing a DTV information loop from a This Old House show.) As a bonus, I've included a pic of the one time I saw a digital E-Skip *trying* to come in on RF2, but it never got strong enough to lock.
